When A Logo Doesn't Come Out How You Thought

26 Jun, 2008 in General Musings by Rafael

Sometimes, logo designs fall a bit off base. Perhaps, it’s just a matter of having my head in the gutter, but here are some logos that just don’t quite seem to send the right message.

Logo 1

Logo 2

Learn how to get your ex to return your calls!

Logo 3

Logo 4

Logo 5

This next one is for the UK’s Office of General Commerce, you need to tilt your head to the side to get the full effect

OGC

    For anyone who doesn’t get it : you have to turn your head to the left… then it looks like a guy with a hard on …

    Geez! Surely the designer, or someone somewhere along the way at the print shop or something, would have noticed?!
